PERFORMANCE FOR ALL

Active Edge Sports Therapy and Coaching

Active Edge Sports Therapy was launched early 2017 by Shane Robinson. Located at Giant Lincoln in the historic Doddington Hall Estate, we provide strategies to assess and manage injury, reduce the risk of injury, as well as treatment modalities to support soft tissue repair. Treatments are tailored to you after an initial assessment.

In 2019, Shane started putting his sport science and coaching education to great use by supplying clients with personalised running coaching. He is passionate about the sport and has a burning desire to learn as much as possible to help him and his clients

In 2020, COVID-19 posed many threats to many businesses. Active Edge Sports Therapy had to adapt like so many, and started to offer remote appointments. This is still integrated now, and the extra skills picked up from working remotely has helped to add a new dynamic to Active Edge.

In 2022. The coaching side of Active Edge developed when Ronny Wilson joined the team. Ronny’s post-graduate study in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Loughborough University brings another fantastic dynamic to the coaching we offer.

In 2023, Yasmin Spence joined Active Edge as a graduate Sports Rehabilitator. She is a member of the British Association of Sports Rehabilitators and has a passion for helping clients not only get better from their pain and injury, but also take away lessons learned in how the rehabiliation process can create everlong benefits.

Our original mission was to facilitate sporting success to achieve happiness. As the passion for helping anyone and everyone realise and achieve their potential has grown, our mission now, is to facilitate performance for all.

Shane’s has a substantial relationship with all facets of running. Through monitoring what you are currently doing, refining what you want to do, or producing new ways for you to achieve your goals, Shane can help. So if you have a complex issue that is preventing you from training to your full potential, need post-acute injury treatment, require regular deep tissue massage to help with your active lifestyle, or want a training program to achieve your goal, please click here for more information how Active Edge Sports Therapy can help you achieve your goals.

Shane Robinson BSc MSTA

Director. Lead Therapist & Head Coach

"Having qualified as a sports massage practitioner in 2015, I quickly took to manual therapy and advanced my skills in 2016. I am qualified to assess and manage injury, and use a range of treatment modalities to support soft tissue repair, alongside addressing the foundations of injury - Load vs Capacity. To find out more on how my skills may benefit you, please click here. 

As a member of the Sports Therapy Association (STA), I have received great support and advice along the way. And, I still do. I hope to portray this through my own work with clients to help them achieve their goals.

I am passionate that, through sport and exercise, anyone can achieve happiness and experience fulfilment. And an active body must be maintained. As an elite runner, competing at a national level, I can empathise with the importance of a healthy body to facilitate an active lifestyle.

By combining my personal values with my skills, knowledge and experiences, I set up Active Edge Sports Therapy to help people achieve their own success.

I have spent most of my life involved in sport. With a degree in Sport and Exercise Science, and a Diploma in Sport Coaching, Fitness, and Development, my knowledge and interest spans across a wide range of subjects. Including neurophysiology, biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, metabolism, mechanisms of adaptation to training, and psychology of performance.

Since graduating from university in 2012, I worked at a highly specialist running store - utilising my knowledge of biomechanics to ensure customers were provided with help and guidance. I combined this role whilst studying to become a sports massage practitioner and then treating clients in my spare time outside of work.  

At the beginning of 2017, I began working full-time as a sports massage practitioner, setting up Active Edge Sports Therapy. My previous roles and experiences have enabled me to utilise a wide range of skills and provide clients with specific treatments and constructive advice.

I hope to combine my work at Active Edge Sports Therapy with my long term goal of competing as an international distance runner whilst using Continuing Professional Development to expand my own knowledge and skill set to fuel client’s success, as well as my own." 

Ronny Wilson MSc

Running and Performance Coach

“I started in the local club scene, trained on a scholarship in the US, and became part of a more modern training collective whilst working in London. I have had great exposure to different coaching styles, different training environments and vast performance experiences. 

In that time, I have become inspired to learn from my experiences and what they mean to me. Training has brought me an identity, many friendships, and incredible memories. Importantly, it has provided a framework for human development. 

When I started to realise what my daily runs were doing for me on a holistic level, I had to explore more. I dived into cognitive psychology and self-development. Sport as a metaphor for life really began to click and I found a passion in this message. I quit my job to pursue Sport and Exercise Psychology. 

I have wanted to coach for a while now, to share my knowledge and perspective. Through careful reflection of my own experiences and sound mentoring by Shane, I would like to share in your training experiences and goal pursuits, and work together as Runner and Performance Coach.

Working with a coach is a partnership. It brings accountability, perspective and teamwork. What changes from being an individual runner, to someone with a coach is one of interdependence. You can place confidence in your ability knowing Coach is right by your side. Together, we can combine to complement and challenge each other in the pursuit of your goals.”

Yasmin Spence BSc BASRaT-reg

“Growing up, I had my fair share of injuries, from sprained ankles to broken bones. As an active individual, I am aware of both the frustration and eagerness to return back to sports as quickly as possible. At the time, resting my injuries was all I knew. However, after three years of hard work at the University of Hull, gaining a first class degree with Hons in Sports Rehabilitation, and many additional hours of voluntary placement, I hope to educate others of the benefits of rehabilitation and exercise.

I have spent most of my life surrounded by sports and fitness, from hours of dance and swim training, to being an avid gym goer with a keen passion for Pilates instruction, which I look forward to integrating into my work. While I don’t have experience in every sport or hobby, my knowledge of anatomy and neurology, musculoskeletal injuries, biomechanics and injury assessment shall allow me to become an asset during my collaboration with clients from all sporting domains, to create an individualistic plan.

I am qualified to diagnose, assess and manage injuries, with an overriding goal to help educate the sporting (and non-sporting) community; from enhancing your understanding on how to prevent future injuries from arising, or how to select the most efficient exercises for you! Ultimately, helping others along their rehabilitation process is rewarding work that I take great pride in. Continuous research is conducted behind the scenes,  to ensure that all treatments that I choose, are clinically reasoned and tailored to each client’s individual needs.

Effectively, injury rehabilitation is a team effort that requires both collaboration and trust; I am keen to offer my knowledge and experience in hopes to join forces and work towards meeting your long-term sporting goals.”
